SUMMARY:35. THE GOD MATTER
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE: THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT\n\nAmerican physicist and intellectual Lawrence Krauss, in his new book A Universe from Nothing (2012), argues that quantum physics has clearly established no God is required for the creation of the universe.  \nIn an age where public debate rages on the teaching of science vs religion, an argument that Krauss is at the forefront of in America, is religion a valid view or mere superstition, and does it matter either way?  \nKrauss comes together with theologian Lloyd Geering to discuss the existence of a deity, the need for God in the 21st century and whether the religious beliefs that have underpinned our societies for so long are dangerous or useful in finding meaning and shaping a future.  \nChaired by Tom Bishop. \nProfessor Krauss is in New Zealand as a Hood Fellow in association with the University of Auckland.
